I strongly dislike Nightwing showing up to say "F*** Batman." That's just not Grayson. Yes, I understand that there are many different ways to interpret a character, but in my opinion this is a bad interpretation. If it was Jason Todd, that would be different. I can totally see him saying that, and he is a very brutal character. But not Grayson. Like @The Master said, it's just shocking to be shocking.

There's nothing wrong with different takes of character in different media, but as an intended first impression I just found myself embarrassed as I saw it. The moronic argument that keeps flying around is that Dick Grayson would OF COURSE want to say "Fuck Batman", but the issue is whether or not you actually want a show about the Teen Titans to present itself like that. Couple with the return of excessive and arbitrarily lethal violence, and the tagline about "inner demons", this looks to be every bit the grimdark parody many people online say it is. You couldn't have come up with a more edgelord, teenage-like conceived trailer. I wasn't gonna watch it because there's too many comic based shows out now already, now I'll actively avoid it, which won't be hard.
